Dipicting Decartes Explanation of God
In Descartes's passage it seems as if he is trying to prove the existence of God by creating a simple argument.

Descartes first preface explains that the mere fact that he can imagine a mountain with a valley, does not mean

As a result of skyward images, the gods are portrayed as superior
